It looks hand colored with a marker, probably done by a fan.
You can easily see that on the "4".

The eighth UK Americana Awards returned to the gilt-and-red splendour of London’s Hackney Empire on Thursday, after two Covid-enforced years away. Winning attendees included Robert Plant, Judy Collins and Mike Scott, alongside rising names of the UK and international Americana scenes.
A relaxed Robert Plant beamed as he accepted the International Album of the Year for his second collaboration with Alison Krauss, Raise The Roof. Reflecting that “it’s been 14 years since our last confession”, he paid tribute to the project’s “polestar”, producer T Bone Burnett, for enabling him to go “from Wolverhampton to Nashville, a whole new world, and a whole new place to rest my voice”.
The awards were at least as much about the boost given to lesser-known talent, as Hannah White, winner of UK Song of the Year for “Car Crash”, demonstrated. “Someone said to me when I got nominated, I hope now you start believing in yourself as much as others people do,” she mused, plainly moved. “Now I bloody do!”
Pedal-steel player Holly Carter, the UK Instrumentalist of the Year, thanked “everyone who has welcomed me into this community”, and community was the night’s abiding theme. It was invoked most potently by Alison Russell, International Artist of the Year and International Song of the Year winner for “You’re Not Alone”. Speaking as an African-American woman in a genre the likes of Adia Victoria have called out for woefully underplaying its black practitioners and roots, she dedicated her success to “everyone who has been not welcomed, marginalised, fetishised, waiting on tables”. She also celebrated the Americana community as “a global affair…coming together in this melting pot from Canada to the Caribbean”. “It’s not, ‘What is Americana?’” she pointedly concluded. “It’s, ‘Who is Americana?’”
The all-female house band led by the Magic Numbers’ Michele Stodart and a preponderance of young female winners meanwhile refuted one historic bias. Married couple Ferris and Sylvester took home UK Album of the Year for Superhuman, and Elles Bailey was UK Live Act of the Year. Both performed, as did blues-rockers The Heavy Heavy, Simeon Hammond Dallas, playing a glam guitar solo in silver glitter and high heels, and Frank Turner, Best Selling UK Americana Album winner for FTHC, who sang his tribute to late Frightened Rabbit singer-songwriter Scott Hutchison, “A Wave Across A Bay”. Allison Russell played banjo on “You’re Not Alone” with Lady Nade, and was joined by Bailey and Miko Marks for an acoustic take on “Coal Miner’s Daughter” by Songwriter Legacy Award winner Loretta Lynn.
Acoustically swinging Californian bluegrass band Nickel Creek were Trailblazer winners. Bob Harris Emerging Artist went to The Hanging Stars’ Byrds-indebted jangle was accompanied by the first of several David Crosby tributes, and Ralph McLean, Grassroots Award-winner for his Radio Ulster show, finished by quoting him: “Music is life. Keep on making music, and let your freak flag fly.”
The biggest musical highs were saved for last. Lifetime Achievement Award-winner Mike Scott [pictured] was dressed in cowboy hat and green suit, striking a stand-and-deliver guitar pose to blast out “Fisherman’s Blues”. International Lifetime Achievement Award-winner Judy Collins, wearing pink glitter jacket and heels and with a voice still finely honed at 83, sang the Joni Mitchell song she popularised in 1967, “Both Sides Now”, caressing its nostalgic phrases.
Collins returned to lead many of the night’s winners in another signature hit, “Amazing Grace”, with the help of the Hackney Empire Community Choir, singing out from the balcony. “I once was lost, but now I’m found,” they sang together, in an 18th century hymn embodying the spiritually transformative power of community invoked so often tonight. Allison Russell leaned in to duet, bringing gospel spirit. When Collins hit the final, heaven-piercing high notes, Russell bowed down to this last moving moment from a true Americana great.

JP's handwritten setlist is from the warm-up dates in Jan. '75. (error in his book listed as '77) as a draft list of songs which likely changed. It was written on the back page of his travel itinerary and flight info for Rotterdam & Brussels. I believe Custard Pie was played in Rotterdam, though until there is a recording available, the exact setlist is unknown.

January 11, 1975 Rotterdam, HollandNLAhoy
https://www.ledzeppelin.com/show/ahoy-january-11-1975
Nice to meet you all. My name is "zoso_ledzep4_yy" from Japan. I apologize for writing using Google Translate.
It is the second half of the Dutch newspaper article, but there is a description of “Wanton Song”, “Custard Pie” and “MOBY DICK”. Rotterdam, HollandNLAhoy, which is the warm-up of the 1975 North American tour, seems to have played “Custard Pie” only on this day.
The Dutch translation for this part is: "By the way, it was very promising that the songs Wanting song（reporter's error） and Custard pie performed on this album were the least annoying of the entire performance. (MOBY DICK has a dry review of "Bedtime").
We are waiting for the sound source information of this day. Thank you very much.
There's a draft setlist handwritten by Jimmy which included Custard Pie as well:
Rock and Roll ~ Sick Again, Levee, Song Remains the Same ~ Rain Song, Kashmir, Wanton Song, Dazed, Custard Pie, No Quarter, Black Dog, In My Time of Dying, Stairway, Trampled Underfoot

"CMT Crossroads" celebrates 20 years of one-of-a-kind concerts this month with Nashville's favorite odd-couple: Robert Plant and Alison Krauss.
A new "Crossroads" episode featuring Plat and Krauss debuts Nov. 28 at 8 p.m. CST on the cable network, CMT announced Thursday. The performance re-airs Nov. 28 at 9:30 p.m. CST and Dec. 4 at 10 a.m. CST.
Plant and Krauss play "Crossroads" in support of "Raise The Roof," a 2021 sophomore album from the unlikely pair released 14 years after they stormed award shows and concert halls with their 2007 debut effort "Raising Sand." Cuts included in the pre-taped performance include Plant-Krauss original "High and Lonesome" and a cover of Everly Brothers' "Gone Gone Gone," as well as renditions of Led Zeppelin staples "Rock and Roll" and "When The Levee Breaks."
Earlier this week, the T. Bone Burnett-produced project earned Plant and Krauss earned three Grammy Award nominations: Best Americana Album, Best American Roots Song and Best Country Duo/Group Performance.

Robert Plant and Imelda May sang Led Zeppelin's Rock And Roll to celebrate the 30th birthday of the BBC's flagship music show Later... with Jools Holland
By Fraser Lewry
( Classic Rock )When the first episode of The BBC's flagship live music show Later... with Jools Holland was broadcast on October 8, 1992 – featuring performances from The Neville Brothers, The Christians, Nu Colours and D'Influence – few would have bargained on it being around three decades later, and yet here we are.
To celebrate the show's 30th anniversary, the show left its regular home at the Alexandra Palace Theatre in North London and moved to the Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith, where a line-up of musicians including Robert Plant – making his eighth appearance on the show – appeared alongside Poppy Ajudha, Richard Hawley, Celeste, First Aid Kit, Seasick Steve, Michael Kiwanuka, Gogol Bordello, Martin and Eliza Carthy, Benjamin Clementine and The Joy.
Plant joined Jools Holland & His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra Setlist to perform three songs at the show – recorded on October 5 – including Chuck Willis's I Feel So Bad, Ray Charles's Lonely Avenue, and a version of Led Zeppelin's classic Rock And Roll, performed with Irish singer Imelda May.
Now the BBC have released a video of the latter performance (below), while the whole show can be watched on the BBC's iPlayer (opens in new tab). Viewers outside the UK will need to get a VPN to access the iPlayer, which will enable therm to change their IP address to a UK one. You can get set up in a matter of minutes – and we recommend using a service like ExpressVPN (opens in new tab).
Over the years, Later... with Jools Holland has played host to a number of rock acts, including Alice In Chains, Alice Cooper, Biffy Clyro, David Bowie, Muse, Blackberry Smoke, The White Stripes, Mastodon, The Cure and The Darkness, but is frequently criticised for having a perceived anti-rock bias.
"It’s nice to walk down Oxford Street without being recognised," Joe Elliott told Metro in 2010 (opens in new tab). "But then again when music magazines write about us they take the piss because we’re not as cool as Johnny Marr, who isn’t as successful as us by a million miles. Jools Holland won’t have us on his show because we’re not cool enough."

IMHO, it doesn't have anything to do with Jimmy Page.

Jack Williams | https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/time-capsule-porsche-911-belonging-143239267.html
A ‘time capsule’ Porsche 911 that once belonged to musical legend Peter Grant is being tipped to sell for an eye-watering £180,000.
The 930 Turbo was bought from new by Grant in 1980 and he kept it as part of his impressive collection of motors until his death in 1995.
After that it passed down to his son, Warren, who sold it a few years later. Since then it has seldom been used and is now being offered with less than 12,000 miles on the clock, despite being more than 40-years-old.
Up for sale with Silverstone Auctions, it is expected to fetch a fee of between £140,000 and £180,000.
The auctioneers say it remains in the same pristine condition as it was in when it was in Grant’s possession and hope its rock and roll heritage will help it stand out at auction.
Grant, who is said to have ‘ruled the entire music industry’, managed Led Zeppelin from all the way from their formation in 1968 to their breakup in 1980.
He is widely credited with improving pay and conditions for all musicians in dealings and was famed for his ruthless nature which is said to have been key in Led Zeppelin’s rise to the top.
Joe Watts who consigned the car for Silverstone Auctions, said: ‘The car’s current owner has stored it in his garage/workshop, using it only a handful of times, covering just 2,000 miles in the last 20 years; it now has 11,124 miles on the clock.‘It has not moved or been started for around 15 years and is believed to be largely original, as when Grant owned it, with perhaps the exception of the bonnet that may have been painted.
‘It has recently had a full recommissioning (after coming out of hibernation) done in preparation to sell at auction, passing an MOT.’
He added: ‘It has been carefully stored, its paintwork is excellent and its interior is all-original. It comes with a huge history file, lots of invoices, handwritten letters, hotel bills etc. all with Peter Grant’s name on, both keys, original tool-roll, jack, Porsche-factory service kit and original dealer sticker in rear window – it is a proper time-capsule car!’

Did the doc have a showing at at the Peter Barakan Music Film Festival in Tokyo on 9-15-22? I don't see it mentioned anywhere other than this forum nor is it mentioned in the Barakan Film Fest.
The Tokyo screening was for American Epic, not BLZ.
